Why getElementsByClassName doesn't work for html file? Topic is solved

[DanielToward13]

I am trying to retrieve some information from a html file but couldn't. It works fine when I use it in online webpage but fails for html files. Did I miss anything?

Code: Select all

FileRead, html, savedpage.html

document := ComObjCreate("HTMLfile")
document.write(html)

MyTitle := document.getElementsByClassName("product-name")[0].innerText

MsgBox, %MyTitle%

ExitApp

i think Shell.Explorer work like Web Driver. FileRead, html, not.

How to do that? Could you help me by an example?

I still haven't been able to find documentation for HTMLFile objects, if anyone has any good links.

This problem was also raised here:

Sometimes if I want to do things with HTMLFile objects, I have to use slightly older techniques. Although I could ask the user to update their HTMLFile objects (mentioned in the link I posted, if indeed that works), I would rather write a more widely compatible script.

q:: ;check IE / HTMLFile version number
WinGet, hWnd, ID, ahk_class IEFrame
oWB := WBGet("ahk_id " hWnd)
MsgBox % oWB.document.documentMode ;11.000000
oWB := ""

oHTML := ComObjCreate("HTMLFile")
oHTML.write("")
MsgBox % oHTML.documentMode ;5.000000
oHTML := ""

oHTML := ComObjCreate("HTMLFile")
vHtml = <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
oHTML.write(vHtml)
MsgBox % oHTML.documentMode ;11.000000
oHTML := ""

[EDIT:] Based on that link, as shown above, you could use:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
to enable getElementsByClassName.
